Largely inspired by Miep Gies's memoir of the same name, Jon Blair's Oscar-winning 1995 documentary presents new interviews with friends and acquaintances of Anne Frank's family, as well as remarkable archival material—including brief footage of Anne Frank watching a wedding in 1941 (the only film known to exist of her) and a 1980 interview of Anne's father Otto. Narrated by Kenneth Branagh, with readings of Anne's diary by Glenn Close, Hill's film includes testimony from Peter Pepper, whose father shared the Franks' annex rooms; from Hanneli Goslar, who was reunited with Anne and her sister at Bergen-Belsen; and most touchingly from Gies, who risked her life to shelter the Franks for two years.
